All about design and scale at Amazon

After many moons planning, we finally trekked our way deep in to Amazon where we had a wonderful evening of knowledge sharing and talking about design, high-availability, ephemerality, and counter-factuals.

The whole evening was amazing and a major shout out to our friends in Amazon who made it happen! Special thanks to Agata for reaching out in the first place and driving the whole thing, but also to Alan, Sarah, Ron, Christopher and everyone else who supported the event on the night!

Alexa, execute order 66.

Thanks to our volunteers, program committee, and everyone involved! Thank you Lorcan, John, and Mick for setting the tone with the welcome! Our master photographer Jose Leitao has done it again - check out the fantastic full album from the night over here!

Googlicious garage style networking

For our second visit to Google we were privy to double demos, new BGP extensions, and the SRE(Site Reliability Engineer) mindset exposed. An evening of learning and sharing from the garage with new stickers for all thanks to the wonderful work of Mr. Keegan!

Special mention to Shane who drove the whole shebang! Also to Darren and Phil who helped orchestrate and intro the night. Thank you dear Googlers! For full size versions of the photos below (and more) check out the view through the lens of a smartphone over here.

The demo gods were smiling...

An all night IPv6 extravaganza

Our good friends in SIG hosted us in their awesome offices for a night of pure IPv6 goodness. With talks both local and remote, with speakers from all over the globe, and a longer (but oh-so-enjoyable) social session at the end, it was a fitting last iNOG for such an amazing year!

Great effort organizing this evening from Rommel (wouldn't have been there without you mate!), Tom, Peter, Chris, Sinead, Mark, John, Richard and the extended SIG network team, all excellent people and solid supporters of iNOG! Photos below, awesome as always, from our master shooter Jose!

A fairytale with dual-stack turkeys!

Massive thanks to everyone that helped us on the night, the place was buzzing with activity. Special mentions go out to Brian and Lorcan, our most excellent greeters, and Kev, Richard and Ian our AV gurus!

A league all of its own with double XP for all attendees

Legendary evening at Riot Games EU HQ who raised the bar once again on venue, preparation, and especially AV capture and share!

Rioters Rodrigo, Ivo, John and extended team really out did themselves on the evening and couldn't have supported the community more. What can we say except we're a lucky bunch o' neteng! Thank you! Riot Games really is one place oozing both cool and culture! As always, a knowing nod and hat tip to presenter and photographer Jose for braving the first slot and official photography!

A pointer made of pure awesome!

A mountain of thanks to everyone that helped us on the night, with special mentions for Brian + John who greeted all of our guests for the evening and Mark + Keith for getting us in touch with Rodrigo and making the whole thing possible!

No mention of Pokémon but eclectic nonetheless!

What a mix of topics! We were welcomed to Arista Networks' new space in the docklands on a super sunny July evening (but still managed to fill the presentation room)!

Much love to Alan, Emer, David and Colin in Arista for their space, energy, munchies and welcome! Extra thanks to Lorcan from HEAnet / Redbrick DCU for being the AV guy on the night! Thanks also to Victor for set up and of course Jose for photography!

A buffer full of NetEng!

We thought no one would show up due to the weather but Amanda and Dylan braved the sun outside to meet, greet, and be the shining faces of iNOG for the evening! Thanks a mil!

With blue skies and green fields we met!

We think this was one of the most social, mellow, and giggletastic' events kindly kneaded, baked, and recorded in Zendesk's new event space!

Super special thanks to Vicente and best of luck in SF, we're gonna miss you man and especially your energy! Extra thanks to Cassiano and Vinicius for all your ongoing support and orchestration in the wings and to Zendesk for hosting us!

More than a baker's dozen!

What a great evening that also saw Nathalie from RIPE NCC and NLNOG not just visit and attend, but get stuck in welcoming and greeting people from the outset! Thanks a lot!

A storm of a time with Lightning and Thunder galore!

We think this was one of the funnest and biggest (almost 100 people) meetups yet!

Many thanks to Jose for kicking it all off (and taking photos) and Jennifer + Facebook for hosting us in the new event space (with *all* the Irish craft beers, drinks, and food). Hat tip also to Richard and gang for the cocktails and giggles in the engine room! We hope you connected and met both old and new friends alike... as donkey would say, crackalackin!

And now with moving pictures!

Special thanks to Darragh and Mike who did an amazing job on the AV and Video Production to make us all look a lot better than we were!

Babel-networks and navigating internally conscious darkwebs!

150mins and ~45 (or so) netengs @ Workday for live demos and super important mental health topics! With a slight format change this time we socialised, drank, and snacked first, and then were treated to:

Special thanks to Amanda and Workday for hosting us in such an awesome space, with lovely drinks, and lots of pizza. Hope you all had a great time learning, sharing, and connecting! Y'all come back now ye' hear!
